Every year the Montgomery Woman's Club asks the local schools in the Sycamore School district to have their first-graders through high school students submit entries for our poetry, short story and essay contest.

The contest is divided into categories by age.

The writings range from funny, to serious and sometimes sad, but all are captivating. The winners of this year's contest came to the Feb. 20 general meeting along with their parents to read their entries.
